And also with you.

Loving God, who by taking human form,

reminded us that all things are holy,

as well as in the quiet and calm. Amen.

Reading

Genesis 1:24-31

Psalm 36:5-9

5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains

Your judgements are like the great deep;

You save humans and animals alike, O Lord.

7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!

All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings,

8 they feast on the. abundance of you house,

and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

9 For with you is the fountain of life;

in your light we see light.
